CVE-2012-4459
Integer overflow in the qpid::framing::Buffer::checkAvailable function in Apache Qpid 0.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted message, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (9.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
